No stops will I've made except at the points
above mentioned and in no instance can the
time given to cities where stops are to lie
made I've extended. The fact that the jour
ney is timei to meet fixed engagements will
| prevent any exceptions TO this determination,
but through the day, in passing all places OF
1 any considerable size the train will be run at
! a very SLOW rate of speed All reception
| committees have been requested to meet the
| president at their respective cities instead Of
ell route, as has been proposed in some in
| stances. This is 10 enable the party TO get
| a, much rest and quiet as possible white
| travelling.
| At the suggestion of the president much
| proposed speech-makiug at the places to be
visited has been abandoned. and instead an
| important feature in the programme at each
| place will be carriage rides about the cities
| over previously announced routes. which
| will crafty his desire TO see the towns and
their population, and cradle all to see the
| president without the discOmforts and dan
| gers attending crowded rooms and plat
! forms
| Formal accaptanceS of the invitations from
| these cities will now be made, earlier notice
having been impossible on account Of uucer-
tainty as to the route and dates.
